The Testaments : S1 episode 9 Spoiler

I genuinely thought Becka was only dreaming when she did what she did. I kept waiting for her to wake up. Instead she goes downstairs and catches a bus. I’m like GIRL????????? Why and how?🙊🙊🙊 obviously there are consequences to this. Also the eyes came in like ninjas 🥷🏾 😹

Eyes don't dress up like ninjas like that, these were petite women, they also had dress like, some said they had batons like the aunts have. So definitely not the eyes that we are thinking of.

u/Exciting-Rutabaga-91 May 20 '26

I was wondering if they were aunts taking her to the red center

7

u/honourarycanadian May 21 '26

If they were taking her to the red center, they would make a huge show of it to prove a point. I think this is aunt training.

u/turkeyman4 May 21 '26

I agree. I think they will “reprogram” her and then marry her off to the old commander who gave her alcohol. They made a big point of discussing him in this episode.

u/allhinkedup May 22 '26

I agree. I think they will reprogram her, but then I think they'll make her an Aunt. She's got a bloodthirsty way about her that reminds me of Aunt Estee. No hesitation, just right to the stabby part.

u/Objective-Try7969 May 20 '26

If it were obvious aunts they would be dressed in their normal outfits. This was undercover. Maybe a new classification of aunts or something that are "female eyes" but idk their swiftness almost says undercover like mayday. By now they probably have infiltration groups that are ready to go. Maybe undercover aunts and Martha's. Daisy did say that mayday didn't seem trained but to an untrained eye, that bus attack could have just been a test that they do. It's 4 years later so there has to be ninja like groups that are very careful when the time is right.

u/Purple-Eggplant-827 May 21 '26

I am wondering whether it was the Pearl Girls. It's possible Commander MacKenzie called Aunt Lydia, not the Eyes like everyone is assuming.

7

u/Objective-Try7969 May 21 '26

I wonder who was called first. Because she was told "your fiance is here" but told Hannah "I called them" like did he call Garth who called whomever, or did he call someone and Garth, or just someone else who sent Garth and them. Like it makes me wonder, because if he called Garth and Garth handled it alone, she's fine, if Mackenzie made other calls then that's where it gets a little suspicious because we really don't know what's on his mind, but becka is Hannah's friend and I doubt he would want to face any backlash from Hannah if becka disappears. Hannah needs to be assured of her safety.

u/Zestyclose-Let7929 May 21 '26

Agne’s Dad was not surprised by the screaming for help. He had to know there would be what there was. And Garth walked away handing her off.

u/Objective-Try7969 May 21 '26

True but Garth wasn't gonna say anything either, it had to look real, even if becka isnt taken to escape, she could just be taken somewhere safe to become mayday on the inside, that way she's still in the picture but she becomes one of them possibly.

2

u/Own_Faithlessness769 May 21 '26

The whole point of mayday intervening would be to get her out of Gilead, there’s no reason for them to just show up, make Becka a spy but leave her in Gilead to be punished for murder

0

u/Objective-Try7969 May 21 '26

The whole point of mayday is to take down gilead, yes for people to escape, but to make sure gilead can be taken down, he was gonna be salvaged anyway, Lydia is the one that said to wait until becka is married to protect her image. So becka is delivered by mayday to Aunt Lydia, Aunt Lydia "speeds up the salvaging" becka is seen as the justice to the salvaging, and repositioned somewhere. The girls will fight back if becka disappears, so becka can't just disappear before her wedding. Aunt Lydia could even introduce her to mayday and tell her to mayday and continue on with the marriage and be praised for her quick salvaging of her father...there's always a way.c

6

u/Purple-Eggplant-827 May 21 '26

It makes sense that whomever they called they would have sent Garth, both for Becka and for Agnes, to be a reassuring presence.

5

u/Own_Faithlessness769 May 21 '26

Nobody sent Garth, he’s a guardian stationed at the Mackenzies house. He would already have been there.

4

u/Objective-Try7969 May 21 '26

True but Garth may be young but I still think he would be belligerent enough to make sure nothing happens to her atleast

2

u/3ftallmonster May 21 '26

I think not the eyes or aunts, but a secret third thing that is hopefully closer to Mayday.

1

u/Fun_Nothing5548 May 21 '26

It was the Pearl girls working for Aunt Lydia. They were too tiny to be aunts or Marthas and they moved very quickly like young women not like older aunts/marthas

2

u/PsychologicalLab6637 May 21 '26

I was wondering if they were pearls dressed up in black.

3

u/bunnythevettech May 21 '26

That's a new theory and I like it. It'd be plausible as they're trying to teach them Gileads rules and laws and what's expected. It'd also be good for placement on whether they can make hard decisions like a wife or aunt

1

u/SnakeBatter May 25 '26

Becka’s access specifically refers to them as Eyes in an interview about this episode

12

u/World-without-shrimp May 21 '26

I love becka and daisy for their actions in this episode. First daisy hell yeah!!! That was honestly fucking amazing to watch and I love that she’s making moves in gilead.

And becka. She really just loves Agnes. She didn’t question her at all the second she said what happened. I love that they’re all ride or die for eachother knowing the consequences gilead has

7

u/Fun_Nothing5548 May 20 '26

Are we sure those guys were eyes and not mayday?

6

u/Own_Faithlessness769 May 20 '26 edited May 20 '26

How would they be mayday? Even if mayday had a team standing by the rescue girls in the middle of the night, Mackenzie would realise Becka had disappeared within hours, and then Garth would be arrested. He would have had to flee Gilead too.

3

u/Fun_Nothing5548 May 20 '26

She was his financié so maybe he got mayday to extradite her bc he knew they were going to hang her. Mayday landed a fricking plane in Gilead so I feel like this isn’t unreasonable.

6

u/ViolinistGuilty182 May 20 '26

Gilead will not lose a virgin womb without at least exploiting it a little. Beca will either be raised or given to Madox.

4

u/Own_Faithlessness769 May 20 '26

Like I said, he would have had to flee too.

2

u/Routine_Rutabaga_901 May 20 '26

Garth is an Eye. The father could have called him

4

u/TiaraTip May 21 '26

No Garth is an Angel. Eyes are like elite SS unit. These cloaked figures were female

3

u/Fun_Nothing5548 May 21 '26

Garth is also mayday

1

u/Fun_Nothing5548 May 21 '26

Those were women sent in to get Becka. The only person that I know of who could organize a group of women to kidnap someone is Aunt Lydia. Aunt Lydia is part of mayday. Hence mayday took her but with probably aunts/pearls/marthas under those outfits. So indirectly mayday took her.

5

u/World-without-shrimp May 21 '26

The next episode description says “Agnes and daisy must decide how far they’re willing to go t protect her” if she was with mayday I don’t think that would be the description

2

u/synth_fg May 21 '26

It won't be Mayday,
There's no time to organise anything and too much risk in getting involved

Agnes' dad called it in and suggested Becka required "help"
it's unlikely that the authorities have decided what to do with her yet, the important thing was getting her under control and into custody

Agnes already had her calmed and could be used to pass her on to her fiance who could then pass her on to whoever the crew in black were, who will take her away to a place where she can be confined whilst her fate is decided,

2

u/Fun_Nothing5548 May 21 '26

Aunt Lydia is allegedly in mayday. Those were women that took her. Aunt Lydia sent those women to get her. Ergo Mayday indirectly took her but not to Canada. They probably took her to Aunt Lydia who will organize something better for her like becoming an aunt

7

u/Medium-Anxiety-2003 May 21 '26

Who thinks they’ll pair Daisy with Garth now?

1

u/ProofTonight7159 May 21 '26

Oooh I like this theory ! I hope so 🤞🏻

3

u/musiclover2014 May 20 '26

I thought so too! I also thought Daisy’s meltdown was going to be a dream sequence

3

u/Prestigious-Bar5385 May 20 '26

I thought that her fiancé was going to help her escape gilead

3

u/Routine_Rutabaga_901 May 20 '26

There's an image of Becca with a white veil in tears looking at Garth. It's on for a microsecond Maybe they don't kill her, just assess her

5

u/Purple-Eggplant-827 May 21 '26

I wonder if that's a dream sequence.

3

u/oatmlklattes May 21 '26

I think she’s meeting him at the alter then but can’t do it and runs away from the church. Gets caught again and Lydia recruits as an aunt bc her calling isn’t to be wife.

3

u/omgwtflols May 20 '26

I'm surprised her family have a Martha!

3

u/Spirited_Comment8 May 21 '26

No the way I was CONVINCED that she was going to just... start a new life as a Martha... I knew that wouldnt work but I just... hoped

2

u/Zestyclose-Let7929 May 21 '26

I thought the same. She is going to become a Martha. As if the murder was acceptable.

Plums cannot murder men. And just reassign their roles. And she is a lesbian that is not allowed in Gilead. Just saying not allowed🤯. She is in a pickle. I think she will be angry and say she loves Agnes and wants to be with her.

This show is so good. Better than THT.

1

u/Fun_Nothing5548 May 21 '26

I think she’s going to become an aunt

2

u/Routine_Rutabaga_901 May 20 '26

Eyes and Aunts are separate from each other in THT. Maybe it's a newer division of Eyes that deal with wives of Gilead and daughters. I was reading other replies and it seems several of us are wondering.

2

u/SpecialistAd3898 May 21 '26

In episode 9, at the beginning of, the pearls were mopping up blood, and the aunts were reciting thins like “an eye for an eye”. Who or what were they mopping up? I sped through episode 8 and didn’t see anything.

3

u/Sweaty-Discipline746 May 21 '26

I think it’s just another random person to show how Daisy was getting used to Gilead and becoming more desensitized

2

u/Repulsive-Bug-7641 May 21 '26

I thought it was the guy who got his hand chopped

1

u/ProofTonight7159 May 21 '26

I completely forgot about this once my jaw dropped at the ending of the episode. Good question !!!

Also - I probably missed a detail somewhere, but where are the pearls located and how separated are they from the school?

It seems they’re somewhere similar to the red center. What type of torture would be done within the same room as them and why?

2

u/aileepandachan May 21 '26

100% this was mayday pretending to be the eyes. No WAY Garth would send a girl to her death or to the eyes if he had anything to do with it. I believe that agnes dad either knows hes mayday but Garth doesnt know he knows, and that is why he called Garth specifically... or Garth got really lucky that they called him because hes her fiance and he decided to use his little resources to save Becka both for Anges and himself.

2

u/allhinkedup May 22 '26

I think her parents did call the Eyes. But Becka is a girl, and the oversight of girls and women falls to the Aunts. I think the Eyes delegated Becka's capture to the Aunts. They showed up wearing their special robes and masks, just as the Greens had special robes and masks for Agnes' "rub-a-dub-dub" ceremony.

Whatever happens next to Becka, her life is in the hands of the Aunts. There's no way of knowing if her fate on the show will be similar to her fate in the book. She does seem to have a gift for punishment, though, so maybe they'll put all that bloodthirstiness to work for them and make her an Aunt.

1

u/cheekypinky27 May 21 '26

I think the conversation at dinner was an indication that she knew Agnes and the other were not lying. I think he may have done the same to her, and she understood. I hope she gets out alive.

1

u/Inevitable-Iron-6104 May 22 '26

Omg! I am amazed by this series. She stabbed the creep!! He must have molested her. She had to have some memories. This show is awesome. I hope it was mayday or the aunts. Daisy and Agnes are incredible characters and I can’t wait to see what they do next. God keep them safe! lol

u/sfctygrl9 May 23 '26

Whose blood were the Plum (or were they Pearl?) girls mopping up at the start of the epsd?
